10 Things You Should Know About Djs
10. Condoms required when hooking up with a DJ. Yes, it’s true. He’s kind of scruffy, totally absorbed in music, and hasn’t talked to a girl all night. You’ve watched him for 3 hours. You’re 10 times better looking than him, but he’s the one making the whole room dance. You pick him up, thinking you’re the first hottie this guy has ever gone home with. Well, you’re wrong. He hasn’t talked to anyone there because he’s busy. And why bother, when hotties just like you come and jump into the boat on their own? That DJ you’re about to pick up has had sex after every gig for the last 5 years. With girls just as hot as you. To quote my friend Spaceman “They shouldn’t be called DJs. They should be called DVs- Disease Vectors.”
9. It’s a DJ Booth. Not a place to rest your drink. I mean, come on! The turntables, Cdjs, and or Midi Controllers are worth anywhere from 1000 to 3000 dollars, that mixer costs a grand. The amplifier is about $1,100 bucks, and you’re casually going to set your pina colada on the table? In front of 500 dancers? Use your brain, people. It’s your party too! What do you think happens when all that gear shorts out? Thats right. Party over. Finish your drink, and throw it away properly.
8. That record the DJ is playing cost ten bucks. Each song a DJ plays usually costs anywhere from 8 to 15 dollars. Many of my best tracks I bought and had shipped from over seas for about 18 dollars a pop. So when you see me roll into a party with a case that holds 100 records, I’m tugging about $1,500 dollars worth of tunes for your listening pleasure.
7. If you must corrupt a DJ with toxins, do it after his set, not before. If you get the DJ high before his set, you’re on your own. Remember he’s the captain of the ship, and if he’s too stoned, his set will sound like tennis shoes in the drier, instead of dance music. Thunk thunk, pause, Bump, thunk thunk pause, bump, thunk thunk thunk pause pause, screeeeetch… You get the picture. One time I watched a DJ playing for 20 minutes, listening to his headphones and everything, nodding his head – before he noticed that his headphones werent even plugged in.
6. The DJ is not your personal jukebox. Nor would you want him to be. Would you go to your surgeon, while he’s giving you stitches in the face, and go ,”Hey, do you have number 3 sinew instead of number 6? I sure love that number 3 sinew.” No. Why? Because a surgeon knows what he’s doing. So does the DJ. If you’re able to get out of your “programmed by clear channel” force-fed crap music, and just LISTEN to what the DJ is blending, building, and releasing, you’ll be in for a great night of new music that you’ve never heard, presented lovingly for you. If you go up and request a song that you’ve already heard, you’ve completely missed the point. Let the music change you. Don’t change the music.
5. When you call your DJ friend one hour before the gig and ask to be put on a list, you’re a jerk. No. Really. He loves you, you’re his best friend, and yes, you DID run back into the dorm room in college when it was burning and dragged him to safety. But you’re still a jerk for calling an hour before the gig. Why? Because guestlists need to be turned in at least a day early, so they can be organized, alphabetized, printed out, and brought to the gig. By the time you’re calling, the list is done, turned in, and already at the door. How do you expect your DJ friend to get you on the list now? By going back in time with your last-minute name? No. Here’s how he gets you on the list. He calls up the promoter, who is now annoyed, and begs the guy to hand write your name at the bottom. Then the promoter has his girlfriend stop decorating, and takes the phone to get your friend’s name. Then she stops the sound guy, to borrow a pen, to write your lame ass name down. Now, all of these people are preparing for the gig an hour beforehand. The last thing any of them needs to be doing is menial crap like that. Leave the DJ alone to practice, pay the 20 bucks to get in, and support the system.
4.If you’re at an illegal warehouse party, always watch the DJ closely. Why is that? Because a DJ’s record boxes cost thousands of dollars (see number 6), and/or dj’s laptop and midi controllers are not cheap and when the cops roll in, the DJ is the first person to see them. Your back is usually to the door. The DJ faces you, and the entrance. So when you see a DJ hastily grab his record box and run for it, you know to follow him so you don’t get arrested. The last time I was at a Do Labs Party, I suddenly noticed a commotion near the front door. I grabbed my girl and headed for the side door. Sure enough, there were a line of 12 cops and about 20 firemen outside the party, just about to roll in and bust the place. We were the last ones out before the hammer fell.
3. The DJ is not an information booth. The DJ is there to play music. And to do that properly, he needs his ears and his concentration, not your questions. “Wheres the bathroom?” “Have you seen Jimmy the promoter?” ” Can I put my jacket and purse behind the booth?”I’ll tell you the one question you are always allowed to ask a DJ. Are you ready? Here it is. “Hey, do you need a drink?”
2. If you’re dating a DJ, the day of the week tells you how important you are. Thats right. One of my fellow DJs even goes so far as to put the day of the week next to the girl’s name in his cell phone. Veronica is the girl he calls on Mondays, Cindy is Tuesday, Janice is wendsday, and so on. The other day he tells me “I just lost my Thursday. So, I’m looking for a hot girl here to be my new Thursday.” It’s a good system for him- only problem is, of course, it caps out at a mere seven women
1. What do DJs think about when playing music? In no particular order, here are the things DJs think about while spinning.
“Where did I put that damn flashlight?””Did I already play this track?” “Jesus those are big tits.””Hmm… They’re digging the filtered house stuff…” “Why’s that guy staring at me?””Shoot. Which one was my beer…””Ugh – I have to pee SO BAD”and, most of the time, it’s ” 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, new song, 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8 new song, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, both songs, 7,8, old song,3,4, new song, 7,8, both songs, 3,4,5,6,7,8, only new song, 3,4,5,6,7,8….”

5 Modern Skills Every DJ Should Have
- Know how to creatively use Midi controllers – Turntables and vinyl-only DJs are a thing of the past. As you sit there contemplating how to get going, the best thing you can do for yourself is to get yourself a Midi controller and learn how to use it properly – and this isn’t tied to just DJ controllers, either. With technology improving and moving at such a fast pace, the ability to create dynamic and live remixes has become the de facto standard of today’s top DJs. I personally am using Ableton Live with a Novation Launchpad to accompany my turntables along with Serato to scratch, to create multi-layer live remixes. How are you planning on using modern gear to make your sets that bit different from the rest?
- Become an expert at networking online – Back when I started DJing (I bought my first turntables at Guitar Center and I still have the receipt!), the internet had only just really taken off. Yahoo! was still the premier search engine and AOL was still popular. Now, with the advance of the internet and all the technologies at our disposal, the web has allowed us to share our music and sounds around the world. Knowing how to leverage what is out there – Facebook, SoundCloud, Google+ and of course blogs and forums like this one – to share your work and get help from others is both how you get better and how you build a fanbase.
- Learn how to remix and mash up – The days of just mixing two songs together are over. Today’s DJ has to know a lot about mashing up, remixing and even producing, to be in any way serious about being a professional. Software packages such as Audacity, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton and Reason allow DJs to mix, remix, and produce music to the next level, differentiating themselves from other DJs. After all, any DJ can just play a song straight, but is that how you are going to be different? Get serious about making your own music, even if it’s just mashing up, if you are serious about your DJ career.
- Get obsessed with learning other types of equipment – You might be extremely comfortable with your set-up, whether it’s Serato or Traktor with turntables, a DJ controller, or whatever, but it’s always important to diversify your knowledge of DJ tools and equipment. After all, understanding what’s out there and the resources you have available to you will keep you trying new ideas and remaining innovative in your DJ sets. Plus, you never know when you’re going to be called to DJ on another type of gear. Remember that good DJs can DJ on anything.
- Perform the music, not just play it – Everybody’s a DJ these days. It’s true. People download free, software, mix some songs and yes, they can technically call themselves DJs. In my opinion a “good” DJ is more than a DJ who just plays the music, rather someone who performs it. Think about the popular DJs such as Tiesto, David Guetta, Avicii and so on – they don’t stand there like a robot and play tunes. They are actively engaged in the music physically and emotionally. If you’re DJing and just looking like a robot, you’ve got to change. It’s not enough nowadays.

Laptop DJing In Bars: This Much I Know…
A recent convert to laptop DJing offers his view on what makes a good bar DJ
I’ve been a music lover all my life, but I’m a relatively new digital DJ. It all started for me because some friends who have a local covers band asked me to play some tunes after a gig they had. Because I didn’t want to just use Media Player or Winamp to play one song after another, I went searching and found Virtual DJ.
- The DJ’s mission is to spin tunes, but the real mission is to sell drinks – The DJ is there to help the bar owner to make profit while people are having fun. A DJ is not like a band or a singer: The DJ is not the star of the night, music is. So it’s all about the music, not about the guy/girl in the DJ booth. The DJ’s mission in to entertain, not to get vain.
- Music is more important than technical perfection – I believe that a great DJ must master striking a musical balance. One must know how to entertain people by giving them the current hits, some popular oldies, some new stuff for them to get to know, but also some totally unexpected mixes (as well as some obvious ones). And while doing all that, to avoid a change of musical style every three songs (but also not playing the same style all night).
- Proper preparation and homework are essential – I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of improvising a complete set live. My best mixes are the ones that I really work on, with cue points prepared and perfect timings practised. It’s the difference between an OK set and a great one. You should force yourselves to try different stuff until exhaustion, not settling for less that the best you can do.
- Mixing is to DJing what a sub-woofer is to sound: You’re not supposed to hear it, but to feel it – I will always prefer someone who is using just an iPod playing the music I personally love to a technically perfect DJ who is boring everyone. Now, if I’m hearing someone play the music I love, while feeling totally smooth transitions, eventually with some cool loops and/or samples, then I’m having a great time! And if above that, I look at the DJ and see that the guy is also enjoying himself, that’s when “good” becomes “great”.
- The media used to DJ with is about as relevant as the colour of the DJ’s socks – I couldn’t care less about the endless vinyl / CD / MP3 debate. I just care about options, tools and the final result. If digital gives me plenty more options than any other media, then digital it is. The idea of a DJ using vinyl just out of personal preference, even if that means his set suffers, makes no sense to me: It’s pretentious and it lacks perspective. As in art, people who don’t manage to come up with brilliant ideas tend to try to compensate with technical skills.
Scratching is a DJ technique of moving the song back and forth to produce percussive or rhythmic sounds, while using the crossfader to cut sound with rhythmic patterns. This technique is usually performed on a turntable with vinyl, or on a DJ controller with touch-sensitive jog wheels.
While having DJ gear is a huge advantage when you want to scratch, giving you superior tactile control and feel, its possible to move song back and forth with just keyboard or mouse, and cut the sound in and out as well, and hence be able to create basic scratch sounds.
Keep in mind that VirtualDJ 2018 comes with built-in scratch feature called
'Scratch DNA' where you easily create nice automated scratch patterns and sounds that you can trigger from keyboard keys or controller pads / buttons : => Learn more about the ScratchDNA feature hereYou can now move the song backward and forward using the above mapped keys. Alternatively, you can can also use the mouse on the scratch waveform or skin jog wheels, to move the song back and forth. Using the mouse might give you a more tactile feel and more 'live' scratch sound than using keyboard only.
To cut the scratch sound in rhythmic patterns, use the crossfader. This can also be mapped to keyboard. Or you can use the default mapping where 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys are mapped to control the crossfader.
(Tip: if you go to settings, under 'options', set crossfader to 'hamster' mode, and curve to 'scratch' for best results)
Remember : It takes a LOT of practice to make scratching sound good, be patient and keep practicing.
